But for all the parents on that ferry the decision would probably come down to this question: do you make yourself into a mass murderer in order to save the life of your child? And for some parents, the answer would be no. But for others I really think it would be yes, *especially* if they believed that those people they were going to kill would die anyway once the time limit passed.<br /><br />So for me it's not about a core of decency. If there are two possible outcomes, one in which everyone dies and one in which only half the people die but your child lives, I don't think I could blame a parent for choosing the second option.A.

It's what made the people worth saving and showed that the Joker was wrong about the world, a flaw in his mind that led his plan to fail. It worked for me.Steven Brandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657324020868587426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480750207070339465.post-90771250922522350242011-05-02T21:35:07.696-04:002011-05-02T21:35:07.696-04:00Good!

Who knows? Maybe he really did lie and each held the trigger to their own boat. We don't know since they didn't pull it.G.B. Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798228862436721498noreply@blogger.com
